As we reported on Tuesday, the UK is to introduce “hotel quarantine” for some people entering the country. Yesterday, the government hadn’t decided whether it would apply to all arrivals – or just those from “high risk” countries. Now, after a late night meeting, it seems it will apply only to “high risk” areas, including South America, southern Africa, and Portugal. Although each part of the UK sets its own travel rules, it’s thought all four nations will introduce hotel quarantine. Yesterday, Scotland’s deputy first minister, John Swinney, said it would go “at least as far” as England.
